Air pollution warnings are becoming more and more familiar in the United States. Newly published research suggests that even air pollutant levels deemed safe by the @EPA are linked to changes in brain network connectivity development. Found out more: ow.ly/PZvw50OXCHn

A timely #TruthAboutTeens! Can teens think critically about #voting rights? They sure can! Research shows that teens use more complex justifications for changing the voting age than adults. ⚖️ @bjoosterhoff

We are back to our #TruthAboutTeens series! Should adults avoid talking to children about race? Research says no! In fact, studies suggest that White parents talking to children about race can decrease youth anti-Black bias!

A few incoming PhD students have asked me what they can do now to prepare for grad school. Here’s my advice - don’t refresh on stats or or try to get a head start on research. Instead, do absolutely nothing! Sleep until noon, spend time with loved ones, & binge watch trashy tv!

It's an honor to be supported by @AmPsychFdn as I partner with schools to understand the impact of ethnic studies classes on students' identity, activism, and well-being. This study is truly a dream come true. Details on Project UNITE: innovation.umn.edu/culture-a…

🚨 Calling all first-gen students🚨 I am conducting a completely online study through @UMNews with first-gen students age 18-25. See more info below! Open to first-gen students throughout the U.S. #firstgen #firstgenweek #firstgeneration #umnfirst #CelebrateFirstGen
Got really tired of seeing Bronfenbrenner's bioecological model illustrated only w/ white boys. So we made a new (prettier) version centering Black girls. Please RT & share in your psych classes! Full article on #attachment & #antiracism is open access: doi.org/10.1080/14616734.202…

As if first week back to school wasn’t enough of a challenge, we tacked a half marathon onto the end of it! So grateful to @TSimenec and @creckingball for making running such a fun outlet throughout the past year 🏃‍♀️

We surveyed White mothers in Minneapolis following the murder of #GeorgeFloyd and during #BlackLivesMatter protests. Our new paper describes these mothers' racial socialization practices, which varied from promoting anti-racism to upholding White silence/colorblindness. (1/4)
Publication alert! Led by our PI, Dr. Ferguson, our new paper on Whiteness socialization surrounding #GeorgeFloyd's murder is now out in @APA_Journals doi.org/10.1037/amp0000874 (1/2)

It's been such a joy to work with @ecKeRSt0rFeR over the past two years! Yesterday, she presented her summer research, which focused on measurable benchmarks for anti-racism and civic development in schools.

My piece in @NatureHumBehav on reimagining the future of sample diversity. Human diversity is a continuum, not a dichotomy. The time has come to evolve diversity classifications & promote an accurate representation of the human race in behavioral science. nature.com/articles/s41562-0…
